Question Detail:

In Question 15302 Mufti Ebrahim Desi notes that ' An adult boy and girl wishes to marry, they have a right to do so.'
but then when asked again another mufti, Mufti muhammed ashraf replyed in question 9276 that nor sayed girl or non sayed
girl cannot marry without consent of guardian those answers create confusion amongts muslims hence
where seperation of thought comes into play i would kindly ask if someone may rectify this, and answer with a apropriate soloution
as in if the girl and boy if adults are allowed to marry without consent, and at what age is a male and female considered an adult
and who is specified as guardian, meaning Are aunts and uncles included amongst guardian?. also, there was another question
i cannot recall the question number it stated that a girl and boy can marry in the event of fear of committing zina.
I would have hapily asked local scholars this, but i prefer to get a few different second opinions to seperate the
cultural stuff from islam. so that one may enact according to islam not what traditions/culter in there area think is right.
